“We had a splendid time during this tour! Our guide Miguel was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We felt very much like being in good hands. We saw many monkeys, birds, butterflies, even sloths, etc. After we left we had the feeling we had done every activity that you can do in the area. Our favourite part was the trip to Sandoval Lake where we saw also a cayman, monkeys and many many bird species. The lodge was great. Breakfast, lunch and dinner as well. They were also flexible with the food. We had forgotten to mention that one of us doesn’t eat any fish. They gave us some vegetarian food…”

Guides Sergio, Mirko, and their team lead night walks, river cruises, Sandoval Lake outings, piranha fishing, a Machigenga community visit, and an early clay lick trip. Expect excellent wildlife viewing, tasty meals, and basic rooms with cold showers.

“What can I say... I didn't know what to fully expect as I'd reviewed many different Rainforest Tour Company's for this holiday... some were multiple times more expensive. On leaving the Tour, I can honestly say I had an absolutely fantastic time and so glad I chose this option (regardless of the price). The vibe is super chilled and everyone is like a big friendly family... including the on site macows and dogs. Although it's somewhat relaxed, everything is well organised with clear itinerary and start times, transport is spot on, accomodation is great, food is home cooked and tasty. Furthermore, the tour guide is a total legend (Sergio) and…”

The lodge and bungalows were somewhat rundown but the staff was amazing. Our tour guide (Jhonatan) was the best. He spotted many of the animals and birds that others never saw. It was an unforgettable experience!”

The activities have you feeding monkeys, swinging through the rainforest and seeing lots of different creatures. Be prepared for mosquitos, spiders and more. The food was ok and the accomodation was clean but not the most comfortable.”

Guide Luis has earned praise for patient wildlife spotting. Afternoon departures aim for cooler weather.

“Llegaron 2 horas tarde de lo que pone, lo que supuso hacer la excursión con un calor asfixiante. A pesar de que claramente pone que la excursión es en español, el guía Sergio solo hablaba en inglés, por más que le insistimos traducía solo una parte y de forma incompleta y malas formas, cuando es su lengua materna. Éramos 6 españoles en el grupo que se lo estuvimos continuamente diciendo. Luego decidió mandarnos con un compañero suyo para separarnos y él no tener que hablar en español. En el camino de vuelta, pasó lo mismo, no volvió a hablar en español. No entiendo, porque se ofrece esta excursión de esta…”

“Outstanding tour. Our guide, Ronal (might have misspelled his name) was fantastic. I've read some other reviews and I'm not sure what the other users were expecting; with this tour you are in the jungle with no air conditioning and no hot water to shower with. I actually loved having it this way, making it a very authentic experience. The entire staff was extremely friendly and accommodating to my elderly mother, always checking up on her and asking me how she was doing. All meals were fresh and home-made. If you are looking for a rainforest tour in Puerto Maldonado, look no further than this tour, highly recommended. I cannot…”

You’ll travel from Puerto Maldonado to a jungle lodge near Sandoval Lake, with English or Spanish guides, boat rides, forest walks, Monkey Island, and night caiman searches. Expect local food, basic comfort, small-group plans, and plenty of heat, insects, and weather changes.

“It‘s good value for money, the lodge is nice and the food authentic. I also enjoyed the organization, since there were many groups no place felt overcrowded since different groups were on different activities. However, we were very unlucky with our guide. His English was not really good, leading to questions that remained unanswered as they were not understood. The knowledge was also basic since animals were described like „this is a black caiman because it is not white, it is black“. Communication could also be improved in general, like a detailed description of the activities here and a clear timetable in order to book flights accordingly. Pick up and…”
